United States Ninth Circuit
Civil Rights Education and Enforcement Center v. Hospitality Properties Trust, 16-16269
Affirming the denial of a motion for class certification in the case of an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) claim because although a plaintiff may rely on the deterrent effect doctrine to establish constitutional standing and a plaintiff may acquire standing when their only motivation for visiting a facility is to test it for ADA compliance, the court did not abuse its discretion in finding that the plaintiff failed to meet the commonality requirement because there was a lack of consistent policies or practices across the hotels owned by the defendant but operated by others.
